What do you mean by "keep track"?
I "reliably" use LOCALBASE=/usr because I've carefully tested every
package using LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg prior to building and again testing it
with LOCALBASE=/usr. I've also enhanced my pkgsrc build infrastructure
to do some additional tests in the test environment to make sure a
package won't clobber any system files when it's rebuilt in the
production prototype environment.
